This week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge is all about not being afraid......and Candace has chosen this scripture:
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?" Psalm 118:6
We have been challenged to do something on your card that you're "afraid" of! For example, CAS style, stitching, a vintage look, etc. Just do something you wouldn't normally do!
For me that us leaving so much white on a card - my 'signature style' is to fill it with layers. lace, bling and anything vintage...so I extended the challenge and made my card without any image as well....
But I could not just leave the white plain and had to emboss using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine and the Enchanted M-Bossabilities. I love this ribbon, which is lightly wired and created such a gorgeous bow. I have used a recycled button and snipped the back off. Quick and easy but so elegant - don't you think and suitable for many occasions!
This card is for the following challenges:
Simply Create Too - Wedding (or Love)
Just Keep on Creating - anything goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty - Anything goes
Truly Scrumptious - anything goes
Party Time Tuesdays - Vintage or Shabby Chic
